	Never implied it is. It was more [i]against[/i] the notion that people might interpret such tags as also endorsing more dubious activities. If we clearly and unambiguously state that people will have to abide by US state and their local laws in whatever they do here, and that any breaking of such laws, if caught, won't go unpunished, then it won't by no means interfere with people doing whatever legal they wish as long as they keep to any other guild rules (including writing 18+ content in PM).

Except we already enforce rules against smut out on the public forums.

As long as no one actually attempts smut rp in the public forums, no rules are being broken. It's already acknowledged that it's a PM thing only. All you need to do is read up on the rules and you can already see we don't endorse having smut rp out in the open. besides, people put 18+ in the title of their 1x1 thread. There's no point in really hiding that. 

Just google rpg +18 and you will get results anyway.

There is nothing to indicate that the guild supports breaking US federal law, or any other kind of minor protection laws.

My perspective and Shienvien's have essentially no differences, as far as I can tell.

Actually they do. Shienvien states he is afraid the 18+ tag might endorse dubious activity, and is worried about the legal aspect. which I disagree with, but you bring up different points, while they may be similar in nature, they are completely different.

You seem to be stuck on the morality part of it. You LITERALLY compare child porn to smut, as if you think smut is somehow just as bad as child porn?

I would even venture to say you are "virtue signaling", essentially telling the guild no because THINK OF THE CHILDREN. 

That may have not been your intention, but your posts make me feel you have an issue with smut itself rather than the addition of a 18+ tag, which kitty points out has been around for ages.
